Hi! Is this the correct list to ask about lubuntu? My question is that I
installed lubuntu-desktop on a 9.10 ubuntu, really fast, really nice. :-)
The point is wicd.. I didn't know about it, and it comes with
lubuntu-desktop. Is really usefull and I like it, and I use only wired
connection (people say it's amazing in wireless)
My question is I heard that lubuntu 10.04 is going to change wicd for
network manager (default gnome connection manager). Why this change? :(
thanks

AOL - mostly because NM doesn't work at my machine while wicd does.

Network manager is DE independent, too.
The GUI frontend nm-applet is not Gnome only, too. It works quite well
outside Gnome.
The only one thing it might need gnome is gnome-keyring for
authentication, but this is inevitable for usability reasons.
